Goodbye Perfect Sarah Barnard book coverGoodbye Perfect is a book about a “perfect” girl named Bonnie who, defying all expectations of her character, runs away with her teacher. Her best friend, Eden, is the narrator of the book and expresses how she felt betrayed by Bonnie for disappearing without any premonition. Eden doesn’t know whether she should tell the cops of Bonnie’s location or not.

I liked this book because it had that hint of teenage trouble, if you know what I mean. The struggles and dilemmas of teenage life made it a superbly interesting read. One suspense chases after another as Bonnie runs away, Eden tries to rendezvous with Bonnie, and the cops arrest them all. What makes it even more fun is that it all happens in the week before their finals. Bonnie, the girl who always stressed too much about school, running away right before a big test? How could that happen? And she didn’t even tell her best friend? What was she thinking? 

Well you just gotta read it if you want to find out.
